We're Hiring: Backend Systems Engineer Mission Software & Cloud Connectivity Full time | Core team LAT Aerospace | Perception & Autonomy At LAT Aerospace, were building Indias first clean-sheet hybrid-electric STOL aircraft and a next-generation autonomy stack powering aircraft for complex missions. Our team is kicking off a new chapter developing the full flight-control, obstacle-avoidance, GNSS-denied navigation, and swarm-coordination layers that will define LATs autonomy architecture. Were hiring a Backend Systems Engineer to build the high-performance backend that powers LATs mission-control stack. What youll do Design and develop backend services for mission planning, swarm management, telemetry ingestion, and real-time operator tools. Optimize real-time video streaming pipelines transcoding, adaptive bitrate, low-latency transport, failover, and bandwidth efficiency. Build and maintain robust APIs and data services for mission software, ensuring high throughput and low-latency performance. Implement communication protocols for drone ground cloud data exchange; handle unreliable links, reconnect logic, and packet prioritization. Architect scalable backend infrastructure to support multi-drone missions, swarm telemetry aggregation, and perception outputs. Integrate mission software with cloud services for logging, long-term storage, analytics, and real-time monitoring. Ensure backend reliability through observability tooling, metrics, tracing, and automatic recovery mechanisms. What we're looking for Solid experience building backend systems using Node.js, Python, Go, or similar languages. Deep understanding of real-time communication, streaming protocols (WebRTC, RTSP, RTP, SRT, gRPC, WebSockets), or low-latency data transport. Experience designing scalable REST or event-driven architectures and distributed systems. Familiarity with AWS and deploying production-grade backend services. Solid knowledge of databases, caching, message queues, and optimizing high-throughput systems. Ability to diagnose complex backend issues using logs, traces, profilers, and observability tools. Why LAT Core-team role building the autonomy brain of Indias most ambitious aerospace startup. Ownership, speed, and the chance to define a new class of systems from scratch. .

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
